Blogs

Morning All

I have been searching for what seems like an eternity to find something I can do job wise from home. I wondered if anyone has any advice on if blogs can earn you any money and if so how you go about setting one up. Also are there any other ways of earning cash from your home. I have signed up to do surveys but can't see this being a way of earning anything decent. I'm not greedy but would love to be able to earn £20+ a week, I'm not sure if this is even possible. I have tried lots of direct selling but I don't seem to make them pay. I have 2 children and my OH works 12 hr shifts, we have no family local and don't want to use childcare so a "real job" doesn't fit. Can any of you offer any advice please.

    I've not had a good look but I know theres quite a lot of free information on this site. http://supersimpleblogging.com/ I found the link in another forum and it had good reviews. He's offering something for free if you subscribe to his page, he may promote other products to you via email but of course you don't have to buy anything! Seeing it's free you've got nothing to lose may as well have a look!

    Hi UK2010

    Many thanks for the link, is it ok I am unsure as they seem to be offering loads of info for free what are they getting from it or am I being thick???
  • You can start a blog really easily at www.blogger.com - it's free and really easy to set up. They're part of Google so a really good provider.

    If you've got kids you should join British Mummy Bloggers (just google it) as it's a really good network to be part of....

    The link to my blog is in my profile if you want to have a look at what you can do, I started mine on Blogger and moved to Wordpress when I started to get quite high visits per day. I do make a little bit from my blog but I mainly blog for fun :beer:

    good luck with it x
